BLACK CRICKETS - Gryllus bimaculatus
Black crickets are best kept between the temperatures 29 and 32°C although a localized heat source up to 35°C will be beneficial. When the crickets arrive, empty out entire contents into larger well ventilated container such as a Lucky Reptile Kricket Keeper, Lucky Reptile Herp Haven or small aquarium. Place egg cartons around the walls of the container use one of the high calcium prepared insect foods such as Bug Grub orMedivet Cricket Diet Plus on the base. Also add a couple of pieces of carrot or potato; this will supply the crickets with moisture and vitamins found in fresh vegetables. Black crickets need more protein than Silent Crickets; this can be provided by adding some fish food or dry dog food
The smaller size crickets will require additional water either in a small container (coffee jar lid) with cotton wool to prevent drowning, (although you may find that this will encourage mites) or some Lucky Reptile Aqua Gel will give excellent results
It is important to keep your crickets clean and dry
